Splash Shield

[rodster]

Saw this picture online and noticed it had a splash shield on the DS but not on the PS.

Did SVO's get these splash shields on both sides?

Yes These were on all cars all years.

[Chalky]

only on the drivers side that i've seen.

[rodster]

How about none on an 84? :p

:D

[MikeFleming]

I don't recall any on my 84, but that was almost 30 years ago and I've slept since then. I can easily see it as something that would quickly get added to the Spare Parts Box.

[rodster]

I'll be curious to hear what other owners, esp original owners have found.

Heading to the garage....... promise. ;)

I dont think there is one on my '84.

The one on my '88 is torn most of the way off and flapping in the wind while going down the road.

[k98dave]

Have one on my 84SVO (drivers side) My 88 LX, 93LX, & 93 Cobra all have one on each side.

Interesting, my 83 TBird has them on both sides and they have survived 130,000+ miles.

Logic would have you believe the SVO would have them on both sides but who know :confused: until we see low mileage original cars.

It seems like a good item to have if the car is a driver in a rainy environment.

[k98dave]

You could always add one. Plenty around in salvage yards and I think either NPD or Late Model had replacements.

[rodster]

I'm thinking about adding both sides as it seems like they should help keep things a bit cleaner.

I checked around and didn't find any repros but will hunt for some in junkyards when spring arrives.

Unfortunately not a lot of Fox stuff in the yards around me and what is there is usually picked clean.

[k98dave]

I believe they are the same on the SN cars (94-98) usually plenty of them around.

[SnakePlisskin]

Mines a 86 but they are both there. Interesting fact, new GT500's only have one on DS.

A little off topic (ok... way off topic, but close proximity in the picture :)) Where did you get the end links on your sway bar? Appear to be aftermarket bolts and bushings.

[Otto Man]

And off topic...what springs are those?

[rodster]

Sorry guys, can't answer either question since the car in the picture isn't mine. :(

My car doesn't have said splash shields so I had to use a picture from my reference library.

I am looking for new springs and may need new end links so maybe I'll be able to answer the question in time. ;)

We found an '82 GLX in the junkyard a month ago that I was grabbing the wheel well splash shields from and still had both of these on it so we grabbed them too!

Oh, Energy Suspension sells aftermarket end links. I just picked up a poly bushing set in black for our '79. They are available in red too I think.

[rodster]

Good score at the junkyard. Something I'll be looking for. Unfortunately not many Fox bodies in my local yards anymore.

Good find!

Looks like a "correct" battery hold down and bolt too! The kits from NPD and FMR are not concours correct.

I did grab that too! I needed one for my son's 79 because the original had been "modified". They don't really seem in short supply in the junkyards from what I have seen.

With my SVO still in storage, I may put the splash shields on it if they are missing...sorry son :)
